Kylie (Please read description) from Will Rebein on Vimeo.
Being part of the Kardashian-Jenner clan comes with a lot of love, expectations and criticism. For every media mention, there seems to always be hundreds, if not, thousands of hate comments from people across the globe. even though one may not think twice about it, this new art documentary centered around Kylie Jenner may shed some light onto the disturbing problem.
Kylie has been the victim of numerous nasty comments, most of which compare her to her sister Kendall Jenner. Some of the shocking comments are brought to light in a documentary by William Rebein that features a make-up tutorial contrasted with real comments people have made online. In the description of the film, Rebein explains that the tutorial is shown in reverse to symbolize how the negative comments are stripping Kylie of her self esteem, and that the film is a criticism of the anonymous hate culture on social media.
“While reading news articles about Kendall and Kylie in Australia, I was shocked and disgusted by the aggressive comments directed towards Kylie,” says Rebein, “For years, people have cruelly commented on Kylie’s appearance, always pitting her against her sisters Kendall and Kim, and suggesting that her looks are inferior. It’s unreal that people take the time out of their day to write these comments, and forget that there is a real person potentially seeing these things and internalizing them”
We imagine that being subject to such scrutiny is difficult, especially at just the tender age of 18.
